Method
- In a large heavy based pan fry the onion, garlic, carrot and celery in the oil until soft and the onion is translucent.

- Add the tomato paste and fry, stirring constantly for a couple of minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, pumpkin, mushrooms and zucchini and reduce the heat to very low.
- Simmer very slowly for 1.5 – 2 hours, stirring occasionally and topping up with water as necessary to stop the Bolognaise from drying out.
